How Clueless Can She Get?

Talent Manager TM is deep into preparations for her popular talent PT's big concert this year. It will be staged during one of the year's busiest concert seasons. Performing along with PT are three concert icons CI1, CI2 and CI3 whose sensational performances and drawing powers in the concert stage are unquestionable. People behind the production team are in a quandary with some details of the said concert. Indeed, having four of these well-loved concert artists in one stage will never be a picnic. What maybe small details to one, may not be so with the other.

Take the matter of billing, for example. TM wants PT's name to come last and be highlighted with an "and" affixed before her name. Such a bold idea is tantamount to saying that PT is the forerunner or the main star of the concert. Something that does not fit PT's present stature alongside her three co-performers. Thus the billing proposal upsets the other half CI1 and CI2, who have both carved a respectable reputation in the music biz and whose versatility is beyond question. Truth is, either CI1, CI2 and CI3 are equally as good, if not better than PT - in terms of performance and popularity, at the very least.

Apart from that, TM had been advised that going for her preferred billing would put CI3's status in jeopardy owing to his affiliation with PT. Yet the stubborn TM insists and would not hear of it - not even realizing just how the appearance of the performers' names on the print (posters, tickets, press releases) will make one cringe in distaste. Indeed.

Insiders say that TM seems to be detached from reality or maybe just out-of-synch in the music scene. It's true that PT is an good concert performer, but she is far from the genius of CI1 and CI3. Which is why issues such as PT's billing in this case is definitely uncalled for, and does not bode well for PT and her family. May TM realize that sooner than later.
